Almond Joy candies do not get the love they deserve. They were usually the Halloween candy you passed off to your parents to make more room in your trick-or-treat bag for Reese’s cups. If that sounds familiar, you should open up your mind a little to the beautiful combination of creamy coconut, sweet chocolate, and salty almonds. You’d be surprised how satisfying the taste of Almond Joy’s is when it’s paired with crispy marshmallowy goodness.

So, these Rice Krispie treats are basically healthy, right? Either way, they’re a delicious and easy treat you can make in no time. Try these bad boys out for your next bake sale, or whenever you crave a quick sweet treat that won’t make you want to clock in an extra hour at the gym (not that you ever really want to).

Step 6

Simmer 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan on medium-low heat. Put your chocolate in a bowl and place it on top of the saucepan to create a makeshift double-boiler.

Melt the chocolate, stirring until smooth

#SpoonTip: Add in an extra 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil to make the chocolate extra smooth and rich.

Step 7

Once the chocolate is fully melted, spoon it onto the Rice Krispie treats, covering most of the surface.
